So, during the afternoon, I continued what I’ve planned. I take a bus to the Palace instead of taking a cab coz I don’t have enough money to take a cab.(I’m just a student,Diary…) The bus will stop near the Palace. So I didn’t humiliate the Royalty by taking the bus. On the first stepped in front of the building, I stunned. The scenery outside the palace is magnificent. I wonder how it’s be inside the Palace. I stunned for a moment until the guards came near me. They seems didn’t allow me to enter the Palace. I told them that I need to see the Empress and started explained everything to the guard. They seems didn’t buy that. Maybe they afraid that I’m one of the terrorist.[ Am I look like that, Diary?] So, they called the upper guards about my arrival. Then, the other guard came and when he saw my face, he let me in. Afterward, I heard the other guard scolded the guards. Pity them.

After that, I entered the Palace. I’m more stunned with inside of the building. I never imagine the Palace in that way. At that moment, I started feeling butterflies in my stomach. I never faced The Empress face-to-face. This my first.. Then, the Empress attendants came towards me and asked me to wait the Empress in the dining room. Like they already knew me and my intention. The dining room is twice bigger than my house. In addition, there’s ton of expensive things are placed in the dining. For me, the dining didn’t look like the usually dining room. It’s much more better than that. Well, that’s the difference between my life and the Royalty’s. Then, the Empress attendant served me drink. They said that was ‘Mongolia Tea’. Never heard that… Yet, the tea tasted great. I never taste a tea just like that. It’s true. You should try it. Of course, an expensive tea should taste great, right Diary? The attendants did remind me to be polite and watch my attitude in front of the Empress. Like I didn’t remind myself… well, they’re doing their job, right? Unfortunately, one of the Empress vases nearly been smashed because of my clumsiness when viewing the dining room.. In fact, my hand can’t never stand still. There must be something that I will touch anywhere I go. But, thank God, no one didn’t seems to bother to see what I’m doing at that moment, or else, I’ll be kicked out of the Palace.

After a few minutes waiting and viewing the scenery of the dining room, the Empress finally arrived. My first impression about her is that she is very modest person. She did apologies to me because of her late and I need to wait for her while she had something to handle. HELLO? She is the Empress. She is busy lady, I know. I don’t think it is necessary thing for her to apologize me. I think none of the Royalty will did just like she did. And I never think that an Empress will appologize to me.. That’s an extra credit for her being a good Empress. When she came, I’ll try to look good in front of her. [her first impression about me is really important, my dear Diary] But, I still felt awkward. Don’t blame me. There’s the Empress in front of me. I know you will feel the same if you in my situation. However, she is good in handling the scene. She started to thank me for coming to the Palace. Then, I began talking about my intention. Well, it’s hard to talk to the Empress because she didn’t know the ‘public speaking’. So, I have to modify my language (to the Royal language) so that the Empress knew what I‘m talking about. As what I see, she listened at me very carefully. She is a good listener, Diary. Very good. With her enchanting voice, she explained every single thing to me. [You’ll melt if you heard her voice..haha..too much praising her, right..] Plus, she said that the Prince agreed with this agreement and at that moment, they (meaning, the Royal family) just waiting for my decision. I wonder why the Crown Prince agrees?? Maybe later I’ll find it out. Well, we didn’t just talking about the agreement.[I sick talking about that, actually..] She also asked my opinion about the Royalty and also about my family. About the Royalty, I try to be alert when I’m talking. I don’t want to hurt her felling if I telling her the nasty thing about the Royalty as far as I know from my neighborhood. But sometimes, it’s just slipped away. I can’t control it. Thank God, she didn’t angry at me. Maybe she just wants to know how the public’s honestly thought about them.

Before we end our conversation, I reminded the Empress for not too carried away. I didn’t promise anything about the agreement. She seems so understand. She said, “Take your time. I know it’s a tough decision and it will change your life a lot. If you didn’t agree with this whole idea, just say it. We won’t do anything nasty towards you. I hope that you choose the best decision. Remember, it’s for your long-term-future.” She insisted me to take the royal car when she knew that I’m alone. Well, we can’t refuse the Empress orders, right? So, I agreed for the offer.

Dear Diary,

You must be wondering about the stupid agreement?? Actually, it’s not stupid things to you like I think it was. The agreement is about politic marriage. You know what is politic marriage?? Oh well, you will understand when I explain about my story later. This story started when my grandpa and the King thought that they should make an agreement about marrying their each other descendants, so that they can strengthen their friendship bond. As if… What were they thinking at that moment!!! Killing two birds with one stone?? I think they just think about themselves than their descendant.. Anyway, it’s not working on my parents’ generation … [I really don’t want to know that stuff]… Therefore, the whole agreement things started chasing me…[DIARY, HELP!!!] and tried to make me nuts.

When I first told all this stuff from my parents, I don’t believe a single thing about it. I think maybe my parents played a little prank on me… I remember the last time they played a prank on me which was on my birthday..  Pity, huh?? But, as I look into their faces, I’m realize they were taking the agreement’s thing seriously. They started to pull out things as proof that they aren’t lying or joking. Like an engagement ring, as a proof that my grandpa and the King take that thing seriously.. [somebody, pinch me and get me out of there] On the other hand, they should tell me earlier that I-am-soon to be princess so that, I can prepare to face it. [a.k.a run out of  my life!!!] Even so, some part of me thought that maybe they waited for the right time for me to handle this all by myself. Oh well, sooner or later, I will face this situation too, right?? Oh my, I never believe this situation happen to me. Ok, maybe it’s a lie if I said that I never imagine married with a prince. I knew everyone had this dream. And, I loved to see this politic marriage happen in the dramas and movies, but in reality and also in my life, PUH-LEASE! NO WAY, I will agreed with my late grandpa’s ideas on marrying me to the man than I know nothing about.(beside he is the Crown Prince) And being married at this age, NO… NO and absolutely NO!

Despite to see my parent’s I’m-counting-on-you faces, I decided to rethink again. Doesn’t hurt anyone if I rethink again, right Diary? It’s a big deal. And I should consider the effect on everything around me. It still affecting my life even I rejected this agreement. I think I should make the pros-and-cons table. Maybe it will help me solving this problem. As far as I’m concern, my parents need my decision A.S.A.P. This is because the Royalty kept bugging them when they discover my potential (which is soon-to-be-princess). Wonder why? [THIS IS SECRET. I’ve trusted you so PLEASE, never ruin my trust on you] The truth is, the Royalty had an empty throne because of the Emperor had fell ill. So they[the Royalty] thought that’s the time for the Crown Prince taking the throne.. but only with one condition… he should have a wife to help him ruling the country. However, that’s the problem. He didn’t married yet. Therefore, according to the agreement, he must marry with the girl from Mr. Edward’s family. [which is my family] That’s how the problem happened. Anyhow, I didn’t think that I had the quality to be the ‘THE PRINCESS’. I think that I just the Prince’s stepping stone to get the throne. Quite sad, right??  

After a night thinking, I made the decision.. The best choice is to face the Empress. Maybe I can understand this whole situation much more better and not jump into conclusion. After a sweet-morning-talk with my parents, I told them that I will faced the Empress that afternoon.. At the beginning, they looked quite glad. [They think that I’ll gonna tell the Empress that I agree about the agreement] But then, I explain to them that I’m not doing things-as- they-hoped.(at that moment) They seems to understand and even my dad want to send me to the Palace but luckily I said no. I don’t want to make them suffer too long. [I mean, waited for my decision] and I knew that my parents have ton of works to do. Before I go to school, my mum said that she and my dad didn’t force me to marry to the prince. It’s included my future too. She didn’t want me to jeopardize my life because of the agreement that my late grandpa made. However, deep inside their heart I knew that they want me to agree. Well, it’s a tough decision to make. I said to my mum, ”Just cross your fingers and wait for my move and what I’ll do next, ok! Fighting!”

At the school, I can’t focus a single thing on my study in the class, I’ll kept thinking about the agreement and meeting with the Empress. I hope that I didn’t embarrass myself at the Palace even thought I didn’t married the Crown Prince. Luckily, my teachers didn’t caught me fantasying during the class. Or else, I’ll be dead. And  luckily, my friends didn’t knew any single thing about the stupid agreement and the problem that I’d been facing through at that time. It didn’t mean that I’ll didn’t want to tell them about the ‘great news’. Just that I need some space for me to handle the case coz they are a little bit fussy [sorry, my friends!] Or else, everyone in the school will know about me marrying the Crown Prince even thought that I didn’t make up my mind yet. And it will make my life more complicated.

Urm, hello Diary!!

                You’re my brand new diary,right? Nice to meet you…Frankly, here, I want to tell you about my story.. First, let me introduce myself. I’m Marissa. [now, officially… Princess Marissa] Well, you can called me Sya. I born in an average family. I’ve got 2 brothers and a great parents.. My dad works as an executive manager while my mum is a teacher. We aren’t rich but not a poor family too. My parents’ salary is enough to raise all of our family. Praise to God coz since I’m a little kid, I’d got what I want. But sometimes I need to work hard to get what I want. Maybe it’s not look like a perfect family as you may think, but it’s seems so perfect to me. The important thing is I’m so lucky coz my life was filled with my family’s long-lasting love. This year, I’m turned twenty two. Wow, how fast the time goes by... Seems just like yesterday, I am a little kid. And now, I’ve become the one of the most important lady in the country… Geez, I think I SHOULD THANKS TO MY LATE GRANDPA who had started it…

                Diary, you must be wondering… what the hell I’m talking about??? Maybe I should enough talking and start telling… Ok, for your information, now I’ve become a princess… WHAT??? You are not surprised with the news??? Oh well, I forgot to tell you that I’M NOT GENUINE BORN AS A PRINCESS… Meaning is, I’m not actually a princess. I am an instant princess. And how I can be a princess??? It’s started with the whole stupid agreement between my late grandpa and the King… The connection between my late grandpa and the King are… my grandpa was one of the King’s trustee. He escorted the King whenever He go. So, the King really trusted him and he was only the King’s confidant a.k.a his best friend [the King was too busy with his works and got no time searching friend, that’s what I think] Ok, that’s a great start. 

 But I need to continue my story later. Just wait for it. Daa my diary.
